Publication number: 20120173437Abstract: A method and system for implementing a project for a customer. A computer readable Requirements Traceability and Verification Matrix (RTVM). The RTVM is stored in a computer readable storage device. A verification is implemented, which verifies: an acceptability of business requirements of the project due to business requirements review (BRR) exit criteria having been satisfied, an acceptability of system requirements of the project due to system requirements review (SRR) exit criteria having been satisfied, an acceptability of component requirements of the project due to component requirements review (PDR) exit criteria having been satisfied. The business requirements are decomposed into the system requirements. The system requirements are decomposed into the component requirements.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2012Publication date: July 5, 2012Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Bruce G. Barker, Vincent A. Buscher, Juan P. Giraldo, Carrie L. LeBolt, Stephen L. McLellen, Sharon E. Murphy, Paul R. Popick, David P. Ricci, Janet L. Spann

Patent number: 8195492Abstract: A method for implementing a project for a customer. Business requirements are developed for the project and are reviewed for acceptability in accordance with Business Requirements Review (BRR) exit criteria. System requirements are developed for the project and are reviewed for acceptability in accordance with system requirements review (SRR) exit criteria. Component requirements are developed for the project and are reviewed for acceptability in accordance with Preliminary Design Review (PDR) exit criteria. The business requirements are decomposed into the system requirements. The system requirements are decomposed into the component requirements. A Requirements Traceability and Verification Matrix (RTVM) is generated when the business requirements are established. The RTVM is updated throughout the life of the project. The RTVM includes verification information relating to the business requirements, the system requirements, and the component requirements.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2009Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bruce G. Barker, Vincent A. Buscher, Juan P. Giraldo, Carrie L. LeBolt, Stephen L. McLellen, Sharon E. Murphy, Paul R. Popick, David P. Ricci, Janet L. Spann

Patent number: 7904753Abstract: A method is implemented in a computer infrastructure having computer executable code tangibly embodied on a computer readable storage medium having programming instructions. The programming instructions are operable to receive disruption data for an enterprise and determine optimal selected disruption data from the received disruption data. Additionally, the programming instructions are operable to correlate triggering events of the optimal selected disruption data to one or more systemic root cause categories and identify a systemic root cause based on the triggering events of the optimal selected disruption data. Furthermore, the programming instructions are operable to determine an optimal enterprise solution set based on the identified systemic root cause and determine an optimal enterprise transformation set based on the optimal enterprise solution set.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2009Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William J. Athey, Shailesh Joshi, Shallin Joshi, David P. Ricci

Patent number: 4162533Abstract: A shift register time compression correlator for determining the degree of oincidence between two signals designed specifically for battery power or other power limited applications. The correlator introduces variable delays to one input signal and compares the delayed input signal with the other input signal which remains undelayed. The output is a stream of digital pulses, the density of which is a measure of the degree of coincidence between the two input signals.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1978Date of Patent: July 24, 1979Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventor: David P.
